The French

Are True Trendsetter

Fouquet was no visionary. In his miniature portrait painting he was a passionately observant realist, an interpreter of the active life around him.

French painting, like France itself, took time to develop. It all began with Medieval manuscript illumination, notably Romanesque illuminated manuscripts(c.1000-1150),Gothicilluminated manuscripts (c.1150-1350), and finally International Gothic illuminations. These book paintings, themselves influenced by Carolingian and Ottonian models as well as Byzantine art, went on to influence FrenchGothicpainting(exemplifiedby the early 14th century workshop of Jean Pucelle, who was noted for the Belleville Breviary (1326) and the Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux (1328, The Cloisters, Metropolitan Museum) as well as the more courtly International Gothicstyle.

Not long afterwards, the primitive school of Avignon produced one of the world's most moving religious paintings, the famous Avignon Pieta (1460) by Enguerrand de Charenton (Quarton) (1410-66) - see also his Coronation of the Virgin by the Holy Trinity(1453-4), into which the artist has poured whole chapters of medieval imagery, enlivened and polished by a sophisticatedFrencheye.

Contemporary with these Avignon artists, Jean Fouquet, born in Tours, educated in Paris, strongly influenced by Flemish painters and miniaturists.

But she is familiar with the work of his Italian contemporaries, produced the most accomplished paintings of his generation: including masterpieces like the Portrait of Charles VII of France (c.1443-5).

The area is now divided between the Koninklijk Museum in Antwerp and the Gemaldegalerie, Berlin. Fouquet was no visionary. In his miniature portrait painting he was a passionately observant realist, an interpreter of the active life around him. His larger panel paintings contain some of the most robust and sympathetic examples of European portraiture.

Later, the French kings, especially Charles VIII and Francis I, were caught in the spell of the Italian Renaissance.

Francis I induced Leonardo da Vinci to execute commissions for him in France and when he came to focus the whole of his ambition as a patron of the arts on the great Palace at Fontainebleau - for details, see Fontainebleau School (1528-1610)he again imported a group of Italian artists to decorate it with mural painting and sculpture.

Rosso Fiorentino (1494-1540), Francesco Primaticcio (1504-1570), and Nicolo dell'Abbate (1510-71) brought with them to France.

10 Must-Have

Watercolor Watercolor

Interest in painting in watercolor has perhaps never been stronger. No longer stigmatized as only a "sketch" medium, serious artists are constantly pushing the boundaries of what watercolor can be. From dancing, vibrating, light-filled passages to richlycoloredtransparentdarks,from cascading wet washes to staccato dry brush effects, watercolors can produce painting effects which no othermediumcanmatch.

In the hands of a Master, a rapidly executed watercolor thrills with its immediacy, energy and sheer boldness. What may appear simple in execution can take years to perfect, and this quality often discourages all but those artists who have the determination and discipline to undertakethechallengeoflearningto paintinwatercolor.

At COP27, Artists Are Installing Their Work to Urge Heads of State to Act on Climate Change

A study found that people’s attitudes toward climate change differ depending on the temperatures they are experiencing at the time—that those sitting in, say, a hot office are more likely to consider global warming a critical threat.

Now, at the 2022 United NationsClimateChangeConference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, a new art installation literalizesthisphenomenon.

Shehab’s work will remain on view at the COP 27 “Green Zone” pavilion through the end of the expo on November 18. After that, Fine Acts will publish an online manual for others to recreate Heaven & Hell intheAnthropoceneelsewhereunder anopenlicense.

The project is one of several produced to accompany the conference, as artists leverage their workinanefforttourgeactionfrom the nearly 100 heads of state in attendance.

The idea, according to the project’s description, is to “make people feel like stakeholders in our collective future and to drive action towards makingchangepossible.”

The artwork, called Heaven & Hell in the Anthropocene, comprises a pair of identical-looking rooms. Inside, visitors are confronted with drastically different sights, sounds, temperatures, and smells, depending on which of the two spaces they opted to enter. One roomrepresentsheaven,theotherhell. “For many, the perception of eternity is divided between the two poles of heaven in hell,” explained artist Bahia Shehab, who conceived the installation in collaboration with the creativestudioFineActs.

“Living in the Anthropocene–the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems—we need to ask ourselves, what’s our eternity reallygoingtolooklike?”Shehabwent on. “Are we going to heaven, or are we goingtohell?”

Techniques: Sharpen

Use the right grip

The first step is to master howtoholdapencilcorrectly. Chiu recommends holding the pencil like you could a piece of charcoal, and using the side oftheleadtodraw,ratherthan the point. This helps keep the pencilsharperforlonger.

"When covering large areas, I shade with my pencil perpendicular to the line I'm drawing to get wide, soft lines," he adds. "For details, I hold my pencil parallel to my lines to get sharp, narrow marks."

Consider lines

The kind of marks you're makingwillshapethefeeland look of your pencil drawing. Things like how fast you draw a line and the weight you put into a stroke will change the look of the line. "A heavy line is dark and definite; a lightly drawn line is pale and exploratory," says Spicer. "When you are starting out, try to avoid uncertain, featherymarks."

Start with an underdrawing

Many artists prefer to start their pencil drawing by laying out the scene with a rough, light underdrawing – this can be especially useful if the end game is a precise line drawing."Havingamorefluid foundation helps you see the end result without the intimidating commitment of getting everything perfect," says artist Timothy von Reuden.

Pencils are prone to smudging, and the softer they are, the more difficult it is to keepthingsclean.

Pencil Drawing Techniques: Pro-Tip to Sharpen Your Skill

For a pencil underdrawing, make sure you use a hard lead (around 2H) to ensure the lines are light and easy to erase.Alternatively,youcould use a digital underdrawing, printed at 1 per cent Opacity. Either way, make sure this acts as a foundation rather than a strict guide. "I strongly believeinlettingintuitiontake over in the creation process, so I work with the underdrawing more as a guideline," continues Von Reuden.

Try a blind contour drawing

One common exercise to start out with is blind contour drawing. "Set up a subject in front of you and fix your eye on the top of it, placing your pencilonyourpaper.

Without looking down at the paper, trace your eye around your subject, following its edges and contours, and as you do so, let your pencil follow the same journey on thepaper,"explainsSpicer.

Vary thickness

Varying the thickness of the line you use help guide your viewer through your drawing, explains Von Reuden. Thicker lines can helpindicateimportance.

Mix shading techniques

There are lots of different pencil drawing techniques relating to shading. Chiu uses two main approaches. The first is with all the lines going in the same direction. "This makes my shading appear more cohesive, and helps my details pop out from the lines I'm using for shading," he explains.

The second method involves working in patches of shading, to help define shape. "Patches of lines go around the form, which help keepthingsinperspective,"he says.
